RAILROAD MATTERS

All western roads at their meeting in
Chicago recently agreed to reduce mile
age tickets to two cents per mile for 2OOO
mile tickets. Old rates were ~ cents per
mile.
Steel rails have been purchased for lay
ing about - miles of new track on the
Rutland road and the work will be en-
tered upon next week and finished before
winter. The entire road will then be in
steel.
1t is reported that the Fitchburg rail-
road company has been negotiating for the
purchase of the Adirondack railroad, but
that the Delaware and Hudson have long
mad an offer standing which is better than
the Fitchburg will pay, aud which, it is
said, will probably be accepted.
Forty railroads are now using on some
OF their trains systems of warming that
dispense with the car stove. SO far as
heard from they are all working we'll.
There have been eight suits brought
against the Central Vermont by victims
OF the Hartford disaster, all returnable
in Boston. The first will be tried some
time in January. The amounts of dam
ages clal med run way up into large figures,
but no doubt some of these cases will be
settled without a hearing.
At the annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Vermont and Canada Railroad
company held at ST. Adams on the goth
inst, the following per- ons were chosen
directors for the year ensuing: John L.
Mason, Jed p. Clark, j. Gregory Smith,
Edward G. Smith, Thomas IL. Perkins,
Augustus Russ, William q Shaw.
AT the annual convention OF the Master
Gar Builders association. held at Mime
apOliS last June, Il resolution was passed
recommending the adoption generally of
an automatic vertical plane car coupler
and the members of the ASSOCIATION were
invited to'vOte by letter ballot on the same
proposition. The executive committee of
The association held meeting in New
York to canvass this ballot, and found
that the measure had received the requis-
lie two-thlrds majority to make it the
positive lnle of the association. This will
insure uniformity in car couplings, and
the consequent elimination of the old link
and pin couplings, from which distressing
accidents nave always been numerous.

Dalrying and Crop-Growing
Philadelphia Record.

Dairying, though associated with the
growing of crops, is distinct occupation,
as some dairymen buy nearly all the food
consumed by the stock, with the except
ion of pasturage; but the main object OF
dairying should be to save all that is not
appropriated by the stock for the pro-
duction of beef, veal, milk or butter, and
in order TO do this they must use the man
ure to produce food another year. Thus,
under general farming, the dairy and
crop-growing are joint occupations, the
one dependent on the other. There are
hundreds of farmers who have gradually
grown wealthy at 1airying, though they
really derive but little more from the
milk and butter sold than the amount OK
pended for food, as properly all crops
grown aid consumed by the stock should
be charged to them; but the farmers in
crease of wealth is in the improvement
of his farm. If he does not derive large
profits from his sales, his land will be
gradually growing in fertility and its
value increasing This Is feature of
dairying that is often overlooked. The
manure does not receive that considera-
ton it deserves, but it Is equal TO a GER
tain amount of expenditure mads upon
the farm, and always returns more than
its equivalent. Where butter is the prin-
cipal product sold off the farm the loss
of fertiIizing matter in the butter is al
most nothing, it consisting mostly Of car
bon, which is not valuable element OF
the soil, and whics ia Supplied to plants
| by the air This is TO infer, however
that the skim milk is fed to pigs and sold
as pork, in which shapeit realizes high
er price. When crops are grown and sold
off the farm, as is the case in wheat grow
ing, there is coastant drain of nitrogen
1 potash and phosphorie acid, which must
be annually replaced, or the farm will il
few years be incapable of longer pro
duciug ssch crops; but when food Is pur.
/ chased and fed 10 the dairy cogs it il
I equivalent to the purchasing Of the fer
/ tilizers also, as the whole remains on .ht
/ farm. in the shape OF manure, unless sold
as milk, beef or veal, the feeding Of pigs
I however, being an additional occupation
The scince Of farming consists in combin
ing all occupations OF that character with
d view to earnings the farm and gradually
